This was super easy and really moist and delicious. I omitted the chocolate chips and added the zest of one orange. I made a glaze of melted white chocolate, juice of one orange and chopped walnuts and drizzled on top. It added a little sweetness, but looked fancy.

Always a hit at baby showers and parties! I usually omit the white chocolate chips and I love to serve it frosted with "Whipped Cream Cream Cheese Frosting" found here on allrecipes. It is also delicious with glazed fruit on top of the frosting as well. Every time I serve this I am always asked for the recipe and it receives MANY compliments!

A great cake. I have made it several times and carried it to work. Folks just love it. Very moist. I did substitute orange juice for the water which worked just fine. Yummy!

Fabulous indeed, both by taste and ease of preparation. There is one remark, though: I kept testing for doneness with a toothpick and I had to keep the cake in the oven a lot more than the recipe indicated. As a result, when I turned out the cake onto a wire rack I noticed that in a lot of places on its surface the white chocolate chips had been turned to coal. I don't know how one could prevent this... Oh, and the chips I used were white choco chips mixed with macadamia pieces. Wonderful cake.

Fabulous! My cranky but cute 1934 Gaffers & Sattler gas oven makes baking a challenge, and I'm not a great baker anyway, but this turned out like a dream. I baked it longer because the oven is slow, but it turned out moist, rich and delicious. I couldn't taste the orange, but others could. Next time I'll add zest. Because I was making this for guests with small children, I substituted orange juice for the orange liqueur. I can't believe I baked anything this good!

This was a supremely moist cake and easy to prepare but I didn't taste the orange. I used cream cheese frosting with grand marnier mixed in the frosting as well as the cake. People at work said I outdid myself but that they didn't taste the orange either. I might try orange zest next time.

Yummy - I made it twice in two weeks. I used the vanila pudding but use semi sweet chocolate chips and a little orange zest. In the glaze I used cointreau and orange extract to give a bigger orange flavor.

I really liked the texture of this cake. Bundt cakes to me always seem so dry but this one is nice and moist on the inside. I used the chocolate cake mix and also the chocolate pudding. I then used the mini semi sweet chocolate chips. I only gave it a 4 star rating because even though I used grand marnier I still did not taste the orange in the recipe. Next time Im going to add some orange oil or perhaps some orange zest.

I made this as mini-cupcakes instead of cakes, and chopped up the chips so they weren't overwhelming. The cake is extremely moist, and I would reccommend no icing or topping at all, just serve hot with vanilla ice cream to complement the flavors. Also, I put a whipped cream cheese frosting on half and a fluffy, mild chocolate frosting on the other half of the cupcakes, and everyone enjoyed both variations. However, I did make a change to the recipe as I could not get Liqueur; I just substituted an equal amount of unsweetened orange juice concentrate, plus 1/4t orange extract for a little extra orange.

Excellent! I made this recipe and what a wonderful recipe it is. Although, I made the mistake of putting in the sugar in the cake mix, but it turned out really great. My whole family loves it. Definitely a new favorite.

For the chocolate lover, replace the cake mix and pudding with chocolate, along with making the white chocolate chips semi-sweet chocolate. For a glaze, I melted chocolate chips and orange liquor, poked holes in the cake, and drizzled the chocolate sauce over the cake. If you like chocolate, you'd love this cake...very moist and rich even without the sauce. My aunt, the chocoholic in the family absolutely loved it.

This is a good cake. I made it on Sunday and have about 3 slices left today (2 days later, so it didn't fly out of here as fast as other cakes. I did sub orange juice for the liquer. Thanks!

This cake is awesome! I've made it a few times and it's gotten rave reviews every time. It is very moist, has a great flavor and is extremely easy to make. No need for icing -- just dust with some powdered sugar. Delicious!

Great cake and so easy to prepare. For easy pan removal, grease and flour pan and allow cake to cool in pan at least 45 minutes before removing it. Can also add a glaze when cake has cooled for a beautiful presentation. Cake is done when it springs back to the touch. Texture was perfect.

the cake turned out well, it's easy and quick enough. I didn't use orange liqueur but an almond one. Only, the white choc chunks disappeared when cooked, so you coundn't detect them. I'll try with something in the batter that remains...

This cake is awesome! What wonderful flavor and nice and moist. I made it for my husbands birthday and everyone loved it. Instead of the icing sugar, I put on dream whip with orange flavoring and then sprinkled more white chocolate chips on top. Nice presentation. Thanks for the recipe, its a keeper!

I was very disappointed in this recipe. It looked great until about 10 min. after I took it out of the oven to cool. It fell flat, would not come out of pan and tore into several pieces. Maybe I did something wrong. It seems to me 2 cups sour cream is a lot but the taste is ok but it looks terrible.

I took this cake to work today as a planned contrast to the excess of chocolate we always have. It was a hit! The only cake mix I found at the store had "double pudding" added so that's what I used. Granted, it was moist, but I predicted that. Also, I warmed a tub of vanilla frosting and added a touch of orange extract and poured over--wonderful addition! This one is a keeper!
